[chantellems]

Im freaking out! I havent been taking my vitamins like im supose to. Not cause i dont want to i just forget to take them! And im still working at my job so by the time i remeber im at work! During my 1St n 2nd trimister i couldnt take them beacuse they made me sick n i therw up everytime but now that im in my 3rd trimister i am able to eat the prenatle gummies without getting sick.... I feel so bad i am 39 weeks n due anyday now but i feel like i failed my baby by not taking them everyday. Is he going to be alright? Is it easier for him to get sick? Can it cause problems during labor? Omg im  getting so scared this is my first child and im not familiar with this.

I took prenatal vitamin since day one yeah they made me a little sick so I take them before bed I had nausea til 15 weeks lost 14 lbs Even when taking then every day I have borderline anemia and have to take iron supplement so I can produce blood for my baby and I please consult your doctor's and make sure they are aware your not taking them as I developed this around 25 weeks complications can occur if ignored things can go wrong for some of us if they are not taken just monitor yourselves causer I don't want to know how sick I would be of I too ignored taking them and not notified my doctor

I take them when I remember. .. if you are going to be BF ing... you still need them after the pregnancy. .. I take the gummy ones.. taste like gummy bears... its not recommended to not take them but if you occassionally forget its just extra vitamins that you are missing on, not your baby-- they take all our nutrients. .. I have to admit that I dont remember to take them everyday

Yeah the prenatals are for you because the baby is taking what it need from you. You may feel tired bit you'll be OK. If you easily forget to take them or they make you sick try taking them at night before bed. It's easy to remember and they dont make you feel.so made because you are asleep. Mine made me feel horrible but I had already bought a 4 month supply (they were on sale!) so I just started taking them before bed.

Ohh sweet jesus thank you for this question. I am 6w1d and i am freaking out cause i havent started them yet. Im guna go for gummies cause i hear they make a lot of people sick. I keep having dreams that i lost the baby or it comes too early or i am having complications. Ive had some of the weirdest dreams since becoming prego. Soo weird. Thanks again for asking this question

The prenatals are more for you, so your body doesn't get depleted. The baby takes what it needs from you. Be sure to take them while you breast feed, it lowers you risk of bone density loss and anemia

I havent taken prenatals since i was about 10 weeks because they made me so sick. I have tried but even the smell makes me sick even though i'm 33 weeks now. All my blood tests have come back fine so i'm not worried.

[chantellems]

Okay thanks everybody i get so nervous now i guess cause its close to my due date

Yur baby will be fine. Sum ppl never take them.

If taking prenatal makes you ill, try flintstones vits. As far as being forgetful, throw the vits in a ziplock bag n put it in your everyday purse, that way you have it on it at all times while ur at work. Taking the vits before you go to bed on a semi to full stomach helps too. Don't stress yourself in worrying, cause it will affect the baby too. Just do it!:)

Don't feel bad, you may have been able to cover what the baby needed based on what you were eating and the baby taking what they need from you. I would talk with your dr about overcoming any deficiencies that you may have. Your body has been working very hard over your pregnancy, I would ask if you should continue to take the prenatal vitamins or if after the baby a different vitamin would be better.

I was hit and miss with my first but did not get  enough calcium so my it took a toll on my teeth. With this one I take calcium and vitamin D to absorb the calcium to overcome that issue.

Dont worry it will be fine, relax...you are taking them now.

Happy labor day soon!
